Prasat Kravan is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, located south of the Srah Srang baray. The remains, reconstructed in the 19th century by the French, consist of five brick towers on a raised platform; while the exterior is unremarkable, some of the interiors feature unusual brick bas-reliefs. The central tower features bas reliefs of Vishnu in his form as Vamana as well as the god astride his mount, Garuda, both flanking a monumental eight-armed depiction. The westernmost tower features a bas relief of Lakshmi, Vishnu's consort. The goddess holds both the trident of Shiva and the discus of Vishnu, possibly marking her as the great goddess who transends the duality of Saiva and Vaishnava worship. A more traditional depiction of Lakshmi holding lotuses is on the opposite wall.
